Delivering a homily prepared by Catholic Archbishop of the Arusha Archdiocese Isaac Amani, the spokesperson for the Catholic Archdiocese of Arusha, Fr Festus Mangwangi, warned the faithful at St Francis of Assisi Parish at Kwa Ngulelo against entertaining corrupt candidates.<\/p>\n

Fr Mangwangi told the faithful that such candidates were looking for unsuspecting voters to entice them so that they could vote in their favour.<\/p>\n

\u201cA bribe could come in different forms, but with one goal which is not healthy for our democracy,\u201d cautioned the clergyman.<\/p>\n

Referring to Jacob and Esau in the Book of Genesis, Fr Mangwangi urged the faithful not to condone any act of corruption, rather elect leaders by scrutinising their manifestos, promises and leadership qualities.<\/p>\n

He further challenged the faithful to utilise ongoing campaigns to elect leaders of their choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are allowed to go to any party rally to gauge for yourselves before voting the candidates of your preference,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Countrywide general election campaigns kicked off on Friday, Tanzania\u2019s main opposition party Chadema being the first political party to reach out to Tanzanians to seek votes for presidency, legislative and council posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
